Martell first practiced with the receivers on Thursday, according to the source, and then took snaps at the position in the Hurricanes’ Friday night scrimmage, even making catches in the scrimmage. Thursday’s practice and Friday’s scrimmage were closed to the media.

Redshirt freshman Jarren Williams won the three-way quarterback competition, as UM announced on Monday. Miami coach Manny Diaz said earlier this week Martell and redshirt sophomore N’Kosi Perry were competing for the backup quarterback role. After reportedly missing Monday’s practice, Martell was seen practicing — with the quarterbacks — on Tuesday.

Martell transferred to Miami from Ohio State in January and was granted eligibility to play immediately in March. He played at Las Vegas Bishop Gorman High, where he was teammates with current Hurricanes tight end Brevin Jordan and safety Bubba Bolden.
